i signed up for their protection plan, so even if it was out of warranty this would still be covered right?

ok, if it keeps up i'll give them a call

yep, hdmi, settings on the tv are the same as they were with cable. its weird, some channels do it, and some dont. like if i'm watching something on speed channel it will be very obvious, but on hbo its not even there. idk, maybe its normal for satellite?

what is the LNB exactly? also the thing that goes in line with the coax that is to power the dish (thats what the tech said it was for) is about 2ft downstream from my main box (the hr24). every diagram shows this is suppose to be going into the splitter and not just in line anywhere. Does it...

locals do it too.most of the signals are usually in the 90's but the ones for 99(s) range from 20 to 90

I would rather just do it myself, chances are i'll get another guy that will get it "good enough". Plus i like to learn things and get a better understanding on how things work. I know the elevation was off based on what direct tv's website says it should be. But i want to make sure i got...

Had direct tv for about a month now and have had pixelation a few times (once or twice a week). when it does it sometimes it will go on for up to an hour. I have an HR 24 and two other regular non dvr hd boxes the dish they put up is the newest slimline dish. I had seen people say the most...

alright i'll give it a shot tomorrow and see what happens

i have cat6 drops right where the cck is, so i can wire it perminatly if it will work. i wanted to do it this way but the installer didn't seem to know if it would work or not my internet is time warner cable road runner (cable modem) this is with utorrent going so the internet speeds seem fine

ok, can i hook that dcck up via wired network and if i can will that give me better download speeds?

yep its that dcck thing the installer called it a wireless deca it has an ethernet port on it, i was wondering if I can just connect my cat6 cable to it and get better results

ok this is the way it is wired up from the dish everything goes to a splitter, then there is a coax cable for each box (1 HR-24 and 2 H25's) then right before the coax in to the HR-24 there is a wireless deca. so should that deca be somewhere else? maybe up in the attic with the splitter?

yep, whole home dvr works like a charm, just the VOD is slow.

i was told that will disable my whole home dvr

Had direct tv for about 2 weeks now, and i'm pretty happy with it. Except for on demand. My hr-24 is hooked to a wireless deca. When i get something on demand it takes forever to download. For example, my gf wanted to watch dexter(1hr episode). It took nearly 4hrs to download it. Is that...
